It makes the extent of the comment more blatant, especially if it is a long
comment, and separates it from the code. No more looking for that elusive
*/. For code reading/maintenance blatant is good.
How about 'P' instead of '.' ? I'll guess that 'M' originally stood for
method and that's gone, but 'P' follows 'O', which isn't any sort of
argument but at least 'P' is easier to see on the page ;)
